Danbury News: A pig is not generally remarkable for its intelligence, although educated pigs have been exhibited Charles Burdick, of Brookfield, has pig of natural intelligence, and no knOwlttIgr that has been acquired from taciug. She knows as much as some folks. Sue has been favored with the name of "Jcn- nie" One of her DC culiarities is that she follows her master to the store, the post office, to tlIe mill, and in fact, wher yer he goes, like a dog. If he wishes 10 leave her home he has to steal away from her. The most cunning thing she does is to go to the pasture after the cows. The plg runs to the bars and roots down ole of the lower ones and crawls through into the lot, aud then goes to each COW and nudges it along. If the cows refuse to gu, she bites their heels and continues working in thls manner until she has driven them all to the bars, and then quietly waits for her master to come and let them down to take home the cattle. Nor is this all 1; she knows where the corn. crib ls, and will take n basket i'll her mouth aud ctrry 1t nl place it down hy the door. This im- t' lligent pig is very timid, and when fris htened at anything will nOtIun for her pen, but directly to her master. Upon calling her name, she always answers with a graut. If 1t were not for her grett tim- idtty, Mir. Burdick wnul show somo of her tricks at the ialr but she il very shy of strangers.
